Self-esteem and Getting Organized

Tweet  

I have two questions for you. How do you feel about yourself? How organized are you?

I have noticed that when I am organized then I feel rather good about myself, i.e. my self-esteem is probably high. In fact, when I am reading personal development books, listening to audio programs or attending seminars on personal development and self-esteem, my mind is uplifted, and it get me thinking. Thinking is good, if and only if it led me to making a decision and then acting on the decision. Otherwise it is only wishful thinking!

I do quite a lot of personal development, and I feel better than before, and it helps me to get on with life. Disorganization was a big problem that I used to have. Every now and then it does catches up with me and so I go back to doing a bunch of personal development, meaning to say refresh my commitment to myself to be organized.

Self-esteem and personal organization are essentially two sides of the same coin. The coin that opens those gateways to all success. I may focused on either of those sides separately, but in the end, organization depends on self-esteem, and vice versa, self-esteem depends on getting organized in my development and personal life.

For instance, by emotionally getting involved with taking extra control of my personal areas at work and home I feel proud of my surroundings, and ever more competent at getting organized. Focusing intellectually on how to get organized, and emotionally super-charging that effort for all the positive emotions that come from being organized, has boost my self-esteem. And that provides ever more fuel to get myself organized even more.

Self-esteem and getting organized create a self-supporting positive feedback mechanism to my inner self. The more I improve on one of them, the more the other will improve. My two pronged approach is to work on both, be mindful of both, understand how they both inter-relate, and ultimately combine as two sides of the same coin. The coin that affords my every desire, and inevitably brings me all that I deserve, a fulfilling life of abundance.
